I've had Lord of Light on my shelf for the last few years, just waiting for a chance for me to read it.  I don't get into a fiction mood very often.

Trivia: Allegedly, the fake movie used as a cover in the Iranian embassy hostage rescue was a film version of Lord of Light.

In 1979 it was announced that Lord of Light would be made into a 50 million dollar film. It was planned that the sets for the movie would be made permanent and become the core of a science fiction theme park to be built in Aurora, Colorado. Famed comic-book artist/writer/editor Jack Kirby was even contracted to produce artwork for set design. However, due to legal problems the project was never completed.

Parts of the unmade film project—the script and Kirby's set designs—were subsequently acquired by the CIA as cover for the "Canadian Caper": the exfiltration of six US diplomatic staff trapped by the Iranian hostage crisis (in Tehran but outside the embassy compound). The rescue team pretended to be scouting a location in Iran for shooting a Hollywood film from the script, which they had renamed Argo.[4][5] The story of the rescue effort was later told in the 2012 film Argo.

Surely "the Iranian embassy hostage rescue" was in London? Do you mean the American embassy hostage rescue?

[Darth Wagtaros]

The Iranian embassy hostage rescue was in London.  The Regiment got in trouble for wasting too many people as I recall reading.

Yes, it was the American embassy in Iran, not the Iraninan embassy. Sorry for confusing the easily confused. 

[Gups]

They killed 5 of the 6 terrorists and none of the hostages. One too few, maybe but hard to see how it could be too many.

It is sad to think you probably don't have a better source of amusement.

Of all the places my thread could end up...

In the end they all end up with muscle chicks or stories of MB's bowel movements.
